In comparison, the contemporary fabric shops I occasionally visit (although I can't sew) are pathetic, pallid, and puny! Wilhite’s, yes, the very place!

I also write for The Huffington Post, which rejected this column with no explanation: the international press is suppressing the real story of Greece just now. Thank heaven, SOME people are trying to get the word, the truth, out....

One of her knitted shawls ended up on the shoulders of a Strom Thurmond daughter. Was one of the cloth shops you went to with your mom Wilhite's betweem Seneca and Westminster? Mounds and mounds of fabrics as I recall. Nice piece. Enjoyed reading it. John Esd You should have taken a short walk over our place in Clemson and learned from

She chafes, however, at her writers' great willingness to go silent into that not-good night, when ALL of them have the pennies needed to make their voices heard. Even in London, those who "would speak" must pay the bus fare to reach Hyde Park and walk the distance to Speakers' Corner. Megaphones have never come free, and advertisers--which one fellow publisher suggested I court--no longer exist for the sort of writing WE do. No, we're on our own; or, rather, I'm on my own, and I am grateful for such beings-with-wings as Sanford Rose, for reasons into which I will not go, as they would only serve to embarrass him.

I should say that, as a writer of predominantly economic and business material, my chief ancillary reason for writing is to get things straight for myself. Unless I can explain things in print, I can't really understand or internalize the material. Thank you Sanford Anita:

I would argue that reading poetry can be a blissful experience, definitely on the dopamine side of the spectrum. Every time I read (for a quick example) "The Encyclopedia of the Stones" by James Richardson I sparkle from the inside and out with pure pleasure. Reading your column was a happy experience too.
